What difference does it make?

Step by step
Install the Ecosia app on your phone and make it your default browser (after you've installed and opened the app, it will walk you through how to do this in your phone's settings). If you usually browse on a computer, visit ecosia and follow the steps there to make it your default browser. Take a screen grab of the browser once it's installed or, even better, a photo of one of your family using it.
Search for your weird and wonderful fact! What will you look up? Unusual teams? Unusual pitches? Marvellous mascots? Strange stats? Pitch invasions? The world of football is your oyster! And with every search, you're getting closer to planting a tree (on average, Ecosia reports that every 45 searches plants a tree).
When you find something suitably mind-blowing, take a screen grab of your fact and upload it along with the one you took of your new greener browser.
